Remembering the WWW-WALE procedure for adding chemicals to the spray tanks is the first step to ensure your agricultural products are applied correctly. Other factors to consider for maximum effectiveness of your chemical applications are proper sprayer calibration and environmental conditions during the time of application. If you have any reason to be concerned about compatibility, do a jar test before starting the mixing operation, and always consult the product label. WWW-WALE ❑ W– Water or fluid fertilizer go into the tank before anything else. Fill tank at least 1/4 full and start ‘rolling’ agitation. ❑ W– WSPs go into clean water before any other products. ❑ W– Next add WPs. ❑ W– Add WDGs. ❑ A – Maintain agitation during the mixing/spraying process. Allow each product to mix before adding new materials. ❑ L – Add Flowable (F), Suspension Concentrates (SC), Suspoemulsions (SE), or Soluble Liquids (SL). ❑ E – Add Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC). ❑ Complete filling of the tank with carrier. ❑ Lastly, add any surfactants such as NIS (when required by the label). ❑ Maintain agitation until all of the solution has been sprayed. 31 The Basics of Spraying • Read the label! • Mixing and spray equipment should be clean. • Use new spray mix with caution; use a jar test to test for compatibility. • Check spray water pH, add acidifying agent if necessary. • Pre-dissolve (slurry) pesticides if necessary. • Avoid spraying under conditions that will cause drift. Additional Tips • When compatibility agents must be used, put them into the tank before any agrochemicals. • When spraying foliar mixtures, surfactants and/or COC are added last to the tank. • ‘Nurse’ tanks must have agitation systems.

The table below describes Flexstar or Reflex plus glyphosate mixes that should be compatible if the mixing parameters outlined in the table are followed. Flexstar or Reflex + glyphosate + spray additive combinations other than those listed below may be incompatible. Product Tank Partner Flexstar Touchdown Total™ Flexstar Roundup Original Max® Flexstar Roundup Weather Max® Flexstar Generic IPA salt Flexstar Roundup Weather Max Flexstar Generic IPA salt Flexstar Touchdown HiTech® Reflex Touchdown Total Reflex Generic IPA salt * Plus or minus AMS Spray Additive* MSO MSO NIS NIS MSO or NIS Minimum GPA 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 Overnight in spray tank? Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Avoid the following tank mixes due to known incompatibility: Reflex + Touchdown HiTech Reflex + Roundup Original Max Reflex + Roundup Weather Max Mixing Order: 1. Fill spray tank ¾ full with clean water. 2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying. 3. Add AMS (if used). 4. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank. 5. Add liquid formulations (Flexstar or Reflex) to tank. 6. Add glyphosate formulation. 7. Add nonionic surfactant or wetting agent (if used). 8. Fill remainder of spray tank. Ammonia Fix if Incompatibility (Precipitate) Occurs: If Reflex or Flexstar + glyphosate have been mixed together and a precipitate forms in the spray tank, add ammonia (household) to the spray tank at a concentration of 2% of the total tank volume to remove the precipitate. Additional Recommendations: 1. In all cases, it is best to mix and spray out immediately. Adhere to the recommendations above if solution is left overnight. 2. It is recommended that spray volumes of 15 GPA or greater be utilized. The recommended minimum spray volume is 10 GPA; at spray volumes less than 10 GPA there is more chance of incompatibility.

Recommended Halex GT Sprayer Setup 50 mesh in-line strainer(s) 50 mesh screens at nozzle Minimum of 10 GPA – best for compatibility, spray coverage and performance Use water only as the carrier Halex GT Mixing Order Recommendation When adding products to the spray tank, make sure each product is added separately and thoroughly agitated before adding the next product. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Fill tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of clean water and start agitation Add ammonium sulfate (AMS) Add nonionic surfactant (NIS) Add atrazine – make sure atrazine is fully dispersed before other products are added to the mix Add Halex GT Add EC products (e.g. insecticides) last. Be aware that adding any EC type product will increase the risk for crop injury 7. Fill tank with water to the desired level If using an induction tank, add only one product at a time. For example, add water, then add atrazine to the induction tank and transfer to spray tank, rinse induction tank with water, then add Halex GT. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. does not recommend the use of compatibility agents with Halex GT. When used, compatibility agents have been shown to cause excessive crop injury. Use Recommendations Apply Halex GT at a rate of 3.6 – 4.0 pts./A. Add NIS at 1.0 – 2.0 qts./100 gallons of water Add AMS at 8.5 – 17.0 lbs./100 gallons of water ® Halex GT is only for post-emergence use in glyphosate-tolerant corn (Agrisure GT and Round® up Ready hybrids). Optimum post-emergence application timing is before weeds reach four inches in height. If weeds are greater than four inches in height or resistant or suspected to be resistant to glyphosate, Halex GT should be tank mixed with either AAtrex® 4L herbicide or AAtrex® Nine-O™ herbicide (see label for rates).

Do not allow mixtures to sit for an extended period without agitation. 2. Omit AMS if glyphosate is omitted from this combination. 3. It is recommended to conduct a jar test when adding foliar fertilizers to this combination. 4. If a loaded glyphosate is used, NIS can be omitted. This sheet is intended to provide a recommended tank-mix order of addition for physical tank-mix compatibility. In cases where local practice or knowledge indicates that alternative orders of addition will work, they may be used. We recommend a jar test be carried out, prior to using tank-mix partners that have not been used before, in the local water to be used for the large-scale spray operation, and at rates and spray volume that are proportional to the field use rates of the products in the tank-mixture. ©2012 Syngenta.
